Answer:

Explanation:

You may think of a lobster as red, but about 1 in every 2 million lobsters is blue! This blue color is the result of a mutation in the lobster’s genes. The mutation causes the lobster to make an extra amount of a protein called astaxanthin. This protein is usually important for the red color that you see when the lobster is cooked, but in excess amount, makes the lobster blue.

What mass of CO is needed to react completely with55.0 g of Fe2O3(s)+CO(g) yield Fe(s)+CO2(g)?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

28.9 g

Explanation:

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

$M_{r}$ : 159.69 28.01

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Mass/g: 55.0

1. Use the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ to calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃.

$\text{Moles of Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} =\text{55.0 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}{\text{159.69 g Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}}= \text{0.3444 mol Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$}$
